Wellington may refund cleanup fee

On Tuesday night the Village Council voted unanimously to consider a resolution that would refund the $115 each resident paid in 2005 to cover hurricane cleanup. Village Manager Paul Schofield said the village will have enough money in the next budget year to refund the $2.1 million.

But the council won't vote on the resolution until November or December.

Mayor Darell Bowen asked for the refund. Other council members were concerned that the village would need the money if a hurricane strikes or taxes come up short.
